Questflow vs Cursor
Short answer: Cursor is an AI-native code editor — a coding agent in the IDE. Questflow is an AI Finance Agent — a financial harness plus a marketplace of Funds. Cursor helps you write software. Questflow helps you follow investor judgment across markets. Same agent era, different job.

What Cursor got right (and finance should copy)
Cursor won by putting the agent in the loop of real work — not a sidebar that forgets the project. Rules files, memories, and tool use made it a colleague. Finance products that only add "Ask AI about this candle" are still sidebars.
Questflow's equivalent of "the agent lives in the repo" is: the agent lives in the portfolio + thesis + permissions. It should know your book the way Cursor knows your files.
What Cursor cannot do for you
Cursor has no venue, no custody model, no high-water-mark fees, and no marketplace of other people's verified judgment. Using Cursor to "write a trading bot" puts you back in the Composer/3Commas problem: the tool is excellent; the edge is still yours to invent.
Which should you choose?
This is not a substitution. Build with Cursor. Invest with Questflow if you want Funds managed by AI Agents instead of a blank strategy builder.
